Chapter 581 Crystal Castle (Part )

Although the mind suckers are thoroughly evil creatures, they are not easy to deal with.

Adult mind flayers are around level 40. In addition to their psychic powers that are comparable to superpowers, their slender bodies are actually very strong, and their sharp claws are enough to tear tigers and leopards apart.

This is just an ordinary psychic sucker. If it is the kind of psychic sucker that practices both psychic power and magic, it will definitely be above level 50.

Among the three, the highest level, Ordai, is only level 45. If she encounters one or two mind suckers, she can still deal with them, but if she encounters more, it would be like delivering a meal to her door.

There are no special clues from the wound on the head, but then again, it is really unexpected that there is a mind-sucking monster in the ruins.

Could it be that these guys also wanted something, so they came to the ruins to look for it, but ended up having a conflict with another group and getting beheaded?

Thinking of this, Alde suddenly had a new guess.

Is it possible that this crystal castle-like place was built by the mind-thirsty monster?

The Five Kings Mountains period was the most prosperous era for the dwarves. At that time, other races had not yet developed, and the elves, the original overlords of the world, had become refugees.

The dwarves can be said to be the only dominant species. If it weren't for the fact that these dwarves prefer mining in the dark underground, they would have occupied the surface long ago.

But the Five Kings Mountains period ended very suddenly, causing a large number of dwarves to flee and flock to various planes of the multiverse. The dwarves from the Demon Realm also arrived at this time.

Since then, dwarves have basically lived together with other races, and at most they have formed city-state-level settlements. There is no longer a powerful dwarf kingdom.

There has been a lot of debate in the academic community about how the dwarves declined during the Five Kings Mountains period. One of the hypotheses mentioned that the dwarves were attacked by the illithids.

The appearance of the mind-sucking monsters is even more puzzling. Even the gods have no idea where these guys came from.

They just happened to appear suddenly during the Five Kings Mountains period, as if they were a race that emerged out of thin air.

Because of their eating habits of eating brains, they would raise mortals like livestock, and the dwarves at that time were the ones who suffered.

If this hypothesis is true, then this ruins can be explained. It is very likely that it was attacked by the mind flayers, and a large number of dwarves fled to the demon realm closest to this demiplane.

Thousands of years ago, when the first Demon King was still alive, he would not allow an evil race like the Illithids to defile his sandbox. Naturally, the dwarves were successfully rescued, but part of the ruins was occupied by the Illithids, who used the dwarves who did not have time to escape as slaves for construction.

If you think about it carefully, the horrific legends about the mind sucking monsters appeared in the Demon Realm. It was after the Demon King disappeared and the mythological era ended that the mind sucking monsters dared to enter the Demon Realm because they no longer had the deterrence of the Demon King.

It's really right.

However, this is just a guess and lacks conclusive evidence, otherwise the academic community would not believe it.

Assuming that this guess is true, Alde and the others will most likely face two situations.

One is that there are no, or only a few, illithids in the lower-level ruins.

After all, if there are a large number of mind suckers living here, no one would specifically hide artifacts or creatures such as the Demon King's Ring there. Hiding it does not mean giving it to the mind suckers.

In addition, there is a race called the Gisyans who are hunting the Illithids all over the world. They were originally slaves of the Illithids, but during the long process of slavery, the Gisyans gained the psychic power of the Illithids and successfully revolted. The Illithids have now become the hunted.

If there is a place where a large number of mind suckers live, it will definitely attract the attention of the Gis people, so the mind suckers will not gather together now and wait to be killed in one fell swoop.

The second guess is just the opposite, there are really a lot of mind suckers here.

This is not without evidence. In addition to the head we just saw, don't forget that the traps in the passage leading to the sixth floor are not removed. The legendary wizard Brian lived there, but he didn't remove the traps in his living area. At that time, Alde felt very strange. This was quite inconvenient for life.

But what if these traps are meant to guard against the mind suckers on the sixth floor?

Of course, it is also possible that they are guarding against other monsters running up from deeper inside. After all, a vast mushroom forest can be seen near the entrance to the sixth floor, but the possibility of guarding against mind-sucking monsters is not completely ruled out.

Audrey went through a lot of thoughts in his mind and silently grabbed the holy emblem around his neck.

Soon, Oldie confirmed through prayer that Li Chengxi had been watching her. After getting this answer, she immediately felt relieved and called Nimia and Zora to continue moving forward.

She still uses prayer as her personal telephone line.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Oldie's shitty research spirit not only brings trouble to the people around him, but at most, it actually gets him into big trouble.

However, the fact that Orday is very curious does not mean that she is like Yang Yiyi, a reckless person who does not consider anything. Orday also knows how to weigh the pros and cons and act within her ability.

If it was a large group of mind suckers, then the three of them would have no chance of getting out alive. It would basically be like giving the mind suckers a snack, and it would be almost impossible for them to win in a head-on confrontation.

But we still have insurance.

As long as it is confirmed that Li Chengxi has also been paying attention, then the matter will be settled. In the worst case scenario, the worst that can happen is that we can seek refuge in the "God Realm".

With confidence in her heart, Oldie was naturally bold and invincible.

——Although Li Chengxi felt a little shocked.

Continuing forward, the three soon found an empty small room with two passages, one on the left and one on the right, leading to different directions.

The map Yue Luo gave did not mark the sixth floor, perhaps because it had not been explored yet, so one could only decide which way to go based on one's feeling.

Just when the three of them were hesitating, suddenly, an exaggerated arc of electricity flashed behind the crystal panel above their heads, almost blinding them from opening their eyes.

Referring to previous experiences, it may be that images from other places are reflected.

But since he didn't know whether to go left or right, Alde decided to follow the direction of the arc and entered the passage on the left.

As we go deeper, the arcs flashing behind the crystal above our heads become more and more frequent, but in the interval between each arc flash, we can find that the brightness in the passage is decreasing little by little.

It was not until the three of them walked out about seventy or eighty meters that they saw something beyond the electric arc.

Guys wearing golden-red robes and with half of their bodies mechanized stood on the crystal ceiling above their heads. The three of them could even clearly see the patterns on the soles of their shoes.

These people held incense burners, scepters that looked like some kind of mechanical creation, or large, banner-like instruments.

The arcs of electricity passed around them gently, yet flashed violently, densely packed together.

The Glow Ion Yin Cult, these guys are actually on the sixth floor as well.
